Kickin’ it through West | Beast of an LK11 VW gets kicked and floored along Route 483

Back with an upload on a VW, this time another one out of Perivale garage, however a twist since this ones a LK11. The LK11s are arguably my favourite yet the most underrated batch of Metroline VWs, as they produce quite a lot of kick if you have the right driver coupled with the loud nature of their engines, it makes the bus proper beastly. Once again, to showcase the LK11 brilliance, we are on none other than the 483 route with a late duty. This route can be hell during the day but at late times, it's perfect for thrash with pretty much clear roads in the Sudbury and Ealing areas perfect to get decent speeds (and maybe even top speed ;)) as well as the A406 connecting the route between Hanger Lane and Ealing Broadway.
Kick back and enjoy this particular LK11 roar and kick in the hands of a tekky driver!##

Much more partial to the 62s than the 11s personally but these can be full of surprises. Nicely captured.

It is unfortunate that these gemini 2s would soon be replaced by newer buses
